South Africa Team News & Playing 11
Team News
No further injuries in the South African camp were reported at the time of writing. Only one change is expected from the hosts for this final ODI - Tabraiz Shamsi is likely to make way for Chris Morris if he gets fit.
Key Players
Hashim Amla and Aiden Markram hold the key to South Africa's batting at the top while AB de Villiers and David Miller are the vital cogs in the middle order. Amla looked in good touch in the last game with a knock of 71 and the team will expect him to fire again. Morne Morkel, Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi will be their best bets with the ball. Ngidi has taken the most wickets for the Proteas this series (six in three matches) which includes the four-fer he took at Port Elizabeth.
Recent Form
South Africa have now lost four of their past five one-day internationals. Barring their five-wicket win at Johannesburg, the Proteas have struggled in both batting and bowling departments in every other game of the ongoing series.

India Team News & Playing 11
Team News
The Indian team seems to be free from injury concerns at the moment. It will be interesting to see if they stick with the same eleven for this game or experiment with the line-up to test their bench strength.
Key Players
The visitors will breathe a sigh of relief as Rohit Sharma returned to form with an impressive ton in the fifth ODI. He along with Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli who have scored consistently in the series are going to be the key batsmen for India. While Jasprit Bumrah will be the main threat with the new ball, spin twins Kuldeep Yadav (16 wickets) and Yuzvendra Chahal (14 wickets) will look to torment the hosts once again soon after the conclusion of the powerplay.
Recent Form
India are continuing their great run in the 50-overs format and they now have eight wins in their last ten one-day internationals. They have already clinched the ongoing series, and in the process, have stolen South Africa's no. 1 ODI status.
India Predicted Playing 11

Virat Kohli (c), Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Ajinkya Rahane, Shreyas Iyer, MS Dhoni (wk), Hardik Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah

South Africa vs India Head to Head
Out of the 79 one-day internationals played between South Africa and India, 46 have been won by the former and 33 by the latter. The two teams have gone head-to-head five times in this format at the SuperSport Park with the visitors leading the scoreline 3-2.
South Africa vs India 6th ODI Betting Odds
India are the obvious favorites amongst the bookmakers to win the sixth one-day international at odds of 1.66 on Betway and 1.65 on Unibet. They clearly have been the better side in this series and their emphatic win in the fifth ODI proved that their loss at Johannesburg was just a blip. South Africa on the other hand begin as the bookmakers' underdogs to win this game with a 2.20 offer on Betway and 2.25 on Unibet.
South Africa vs India 6th ODI Prediction
India have dominated South Africa thoroughly in this series and the hosts now have nothing to play for but pride. The Proteas have been flummoxed by the Indian wrist-spinners and their lower-middle order looks extremely fragile against them. Moreover, the memories of being rolled over for just 118 inside 33 overs will still be fresh with the South Africans as they head back to Centurion. While the visitors will go into this game high on confidence, the hosts will be coming with plenty of doubts in their mind. So backing India to win this match seems to be a safer option, even if they decide to rest a couple of mainstream members.
Final Verdict: Back India to beat South Africa at 1.66 on betway and 1.65 on Unibet.
